U.S. News and World Report has ranked professional programs in business, education, engineering, law and medicine since 2000.

An institution may not be reported in the list above for one of two reasons: It either does not have a program in the designated area, or its program fell below 20 in USNWR's graduate program rankings in 2010.

USNWR's professional program rankings have been criticized for being somewhat arbitrary and relying on small sample sizes.

UC Merced is not yet included in these rankings.

USNWR labels its rankings for the prospective year; the 2010 rankings were published in March 2009. UC Merced is not ranked because it does not have graduate professional programs in business, education, law or medicine; it does offer graduate study in engineering areas, but the programs are too new to have awarded degrees or to be reviewed by USNWR.
